Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 47

After the early court, Chongzhen's enthusiastic Empress Zhaozhou had a meal together, and Princess Zhaoren, who was only six years old, came with her.

Princess Zhaoren was born to Concubine Shen of Chongzhen. When Princess Zhaoren was born, Concubine Shen had a dystocia. She only left Zhaoren to Chongzhen and left. Since then, Princess Zhaoren has been raised by Queen Zhou. Queen Zhou regarded her as her own, but she had no choice but to give birth. At that time, Zhaoren never had a few days of good clothes and good food since he was a child.

"I haven't seen the emperor in such a happy mood for a long time, but what good news happened to the court?" Queen Zhou saluted Chongzhen with a smile, and took Princess Zhaoren to her seat.

Seeing Princess Zhaoren's big bright eyes sweeping over the delicious food on the table from time to time, Chongzhen stretched out his right hand and stroked Zhaoren's head, indicating that she could start first.

There are four dishes and one soup on the imperial table, there are meat and vegetables, and the dishes are full of fragrance. Although not rich, it is enough for three people to eat. Since the internal funds were filled, Chongzhen also relaxed the expenditure in the palace, and the palace finally I saw Hun Xing.

"Well, a few days ago I investigated and dealt with some corrupt old officials. Who would have thought that these sycophantic officials would have such a wealth of property. Now that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is full, even my internal funds are no longer short of money."

Chongzhen suddenly remembered what Liu Hongjian said, those old men in the court hall were all walking purses, he smiled for a moment, this kid really hit the mark!
"Today at the court meeting, I announced that I would pay the officials their salaries in arrears. I am also very satisfied with the newly promoted group of scholars from the Imperial Academy. With the money, I plan to recruit some more soldiers. With the soldiers, the Ming Dynasty will be able to rejuvenate." Expect!
Do you think I can be unhappy?Queen, come and have a drink with me! "Chongzhen poured himself a cup, and then signaled the maid to pour it for Queen Zhou, and it seemed extraordinarily enjoyable to drink it all in one gulp.

"Father, Queen Mother is not in good health and cannot drink!" Zhaoren, who had been struggling with the food on the table, suddenly put down his chopsticks and pouted his shiny mouth to protest Chongzhen.

"Your father is happy, and the queen mother is happy. A glass is not a problem!" Queen Zhou wiped the rice grains from the corner of Zhao Ren's mouth with a handkerchief, and then took a sip from the wine glass.

"Humph! Zhaoren is full, and went to find my brother!" The angry Zhaoren left his seat and ran out of Qianqing Palace, followed by two maids.

"This child has been spoiled by you!" Chongzhen picked up some food with his chopsticks, although he was scolding, there was guilt in his eyes.

For many years, he has concentrated on governing the government, but neglected to educate these children, and he has also experienced it.

"Zhaoren is still young, and he hasn't had a few days of good life since he was a child. It's all the concubine's fault!" Knowing that Chongzhen was fine, she liked to drink a couple of glasses, so Empress Zhou poured another glass for Chongzhen.

"By the way, Your Majesty, it's that An Guobo who dealt with those corrupt officials?" Seeing the guilt on Chongzhen's face, Empress Zhou changed the subject.

"Well, although this son is reckless, he always exceeds my expectations. Some things that I usually can't figure out, seem to be solved when we come to him."

"It seems that An Guobo is really the emperor's blessed general! The concubine met An Guobo a few days ago, and the concubine saw that An Guobo's speech was orderly, neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't look like a greedy and scheming person! According to the concubine, it is okay. reuse."

Empress Zhou recalled Liu Hongjian's pleading for Zhu Cihong a few days ago, and said softly.

"Hey, everything is too late, this kid is indeed a person who can help me share my worries, but this kid...too lazy!" Chongzhen sighed.

Those who don't want to be given the seat of real power, and those who are still bargaining don't want to go to court, so they pretend that they are indifferent to fame and wealth, cut it, cheating ghosts, it's not because of laziness, Chongzhen's heart is like a bright mirror.

"No one has faults without being a sage, as long as he is still willing to serve my Ming Dynasty, it will be fine!" Seeing Chongzhen's depressed face, Empress Zhou comforted him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Empress Zhou finished speaking, Chongzhen's complexion became even darker. Liu Hongjian repeatedly mentioned that his greatest dream was to find a quiet place, buy a piece of land, and marry some beautiful wives when he drank too much that day. As a happy little landlord, he even said that he had longed for Qin Huai for a long time.

Empress Zhou wanted to comfort Chongzhen, but just after she finished speaking, she saw that Chongzhen's complexion was not right, she couldn't help but panic, and then remembered Kunxing's strange behavior these past few days, so she came up with a plan.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines have a plan. If this plan is successful, An Guobo will definitely devote himself to the Emperor. Well, it should be said that it is the best of both worlds!"

Chongzhen suddenly became interested, and motioned to Queen Zhou to speak quickly.

"Your Majesty, Shuo (chuo) has turned fourteen this year, and she has reached the age of marriage. My concubine sees that An Guobo is not very old, and there is only one wife in his family. Why not..."

Zhu Shumei is the eldest daughter of Chongzhen. Now she is fourteen years old. She not only has an extremely beautiful life, but also has a gentle and well-behaved personality. Even if she is wronged, she seldom gets angry.

When Queen Zhou said this, she glanced at Chongzhen's face.

Chongzhen was surprised, Empress Zhou always loved this well-behaved daughter, what happened today, but after thinking about it, she was relieved, the royal family has been ruthless since ancient times!

"It's not right! It's not in line with the ancestral system!" Chongzhen was still noncommittal at first, but suddenly seemed to think of something again, and shook his head again and again.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power, Zhu Chongba has set rules for his descendants. All princesses of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to marry civil and military officials of the dynasty and their heirs, and no one in the son-in-law's family is allowed to be an official.

"Your Majesty! When is it time to mention the ancestral system? Emperor Gaozu also stipulated that officials who corrupted 60 taels would be stripped of their skins and filled with grass. Why don't those ministers advocate it?"

How could Empress Zhou not know these ancestral systems, but her thinking is a little more active than that of Chongzhen.Moreover, there have been precedents of reform and strengthening since ancient times.

Chongzhen was also a little moved when he heard this remark, let his daughter marry his kid?It's really cheap for him, hum!
"The concubine will call Shumei later to ask what the child means, but there shouldn't be any major problems!"

Empress Zhou recalled that a court lady recently said that Princess Kunxing got a very delicate mirror, but after asking, she found out that it was actually given by An Guobo, and she gave the mirror to someone without a reason.
Besides, Shumei accepted it. Doesn't this mean that the child also has a crush on An Guobo?

Lang has a lover and a concubine, isn't it double happiness, the best of both worlds?

Chongzhen took a sip from the wine glass, picked up another dish with chopsticks, thought carefully while eating, and there seemed to be a resolution between his brows and eyes.

Now most of the ministers in the imperial court who always contradicted him have been punished. Presumably there shouldn't be much hindrance, but he was a little uncertain about Liu Hongjian's temperament.

Although this kid is a bit of a rascal, I haven't heard that he has a bad record of being a womanizer, but...

It doesn't matter, I married my daughter to him, and I was taking advantage of this kid, and I still have to deal with the accusations of the courtiers. If this kid dares to make irresponsible remarks and embarrass me, I will see if I don't deal with him!
"How is the prince recently? Are you still paying attention to your studies?" Chongzhen's face returned to calm, as if he had let go of the things in his heart.

Empress Zhou was immediately overjoyed. Since the emperor did not refute, he must have agreed in his heart. The next step is to ask Shumei about the child's thoughts, um, and Mrs. An Guobo...

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been working very hard recently. Knowing that the plague in the Northern Zhili area is still harming people, he even sent eunuchs to verify it, saying that he wants to share your worries with the Emperor!"

Empress Zhou looked kindly, Zhu Cihong was indeed a good boy, but he handled things too lightly!The plague is so dangerous, in case...

"It's so good!" Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
